NOVPUBChapter 1081: 339.Do not prevent
A peculiar spell light shone into the gloomy vertical corridor, illuminating the shortcut that went from Underground Layer 3 to the 79th Floor.
In the corridor, the abandoned lifting platform, the lack of maintenance on the chains, the paralyzed traction device, as well as smudges and scratches on the walls, were all exposed under this beam of light.
Especially that repairman who was perched upon the wall using an adhesion device and was cleaning the wall with alchemy tools.
He was startled by the sudden bright light and instinctively used his hands to cover his face, shielding his eyes from the direct rays.
“Damn it, watch the lighting, bastard, don’t shine it in my eyes,” the repairman shouted discontentedly.
Waves of magic equipped with a detection spell emanated from the entrance of the corridor and fell on the repairman, effecting no change.
...
“Captain, I’ve scanned him; he’s a repairman.”
Voices in conversation came from the entrance of the corridor.
“Never mind him, move on,” the leader leaped down, gracefully plummeting towards the distant exit of the corridor below.
Behind him, another nine figures followed.
The blinding light that could dazzle the eyes came from the visors of this group of people.
They ignored the repairman who spoke in harsh tones and passed by him directly.
The repairman rubbed his eyes, watching incredulously as the procession, not needing any alchemy items, slowly floated by and couldn’t help but gape.
The repairman’s gaze followed the group, a hint of a different color flashing in the depths of his eyes.
“I didn’t expect to find an acquaintance of mine among this team from the Pure Light Court.”
Noland Lee, disguised as a repairman, watched as the Light Wizards flew towards the corridor exit, his gaze sweeping over a four-circled wizard among the team.
Bella Langton, the Four-ring Luminescent Wizard bore that name.
When Noland Lee encountered the DSMI series Synthetic Humans on Captain Berkeley’s magic ship, it was Bella who was in charge of leading Noland to collect the evidence from the scene.
When Bella introduced himself, he only allowed Noland to call him by his first name, forbidding him to say his last name.
Bella explained that his family had a rule that forbade them from interacting with others using their last name before they became a Sixth Ring Luminescent Wizard.
Noland later carefully looked into the surname “Langton,” which was associated with the Lanti Family behind Grand Inquisitor Paredes of the Pure Light Court.
Since assuming the role of Grand Inquisitor meant severing ties with one’s family, Paredes did not use the surname Langton.
Going deeper, Bella Langton and Paredes must have had some blood relation between them.
But as to what kind of relatives they actually were, Noland did not know; at least it was not revealed in the information obtained from the Deconstruction Results.
The reason for this group of Pure Light Wizards coming to Fissure Corridor was also something Noland found out.
The leader among the 10 Pure Light Wizards was named Ias Lanti, Bella’s uncle with Sixth Ring Strength.
About five hours earlier, Ias received an Order Book from the Pure Light Court.
His mission was to lead his team to Union City to investigate the whereabouts of a batch of high-density soul gems.
This batch of soul gems totaled 800 million points of Soul Energy, which the covert operatives of the Pure Light Court had been tracking for a long time.
The figure of 800 million precisely matched the Soul Energy required for the Vaccum Bubble Emitter alchemy formation.
However, the Pure Light Court was unaware of the existence of the vacuum bubble emitter.
It was only by tracing the flow of the soul gems that the Pure Light Court discovered they had ultimately arrived in Union City and had already been brought to the Underground by alchemists of the Alchemy Cathedral.
The Pure Light Court was aware that at the deepest part of the Fissure Corridor there was a Blood Sun Divine Seal Descendant.
If this extraterrestrial space pollution entity took possession of these 800 million points of Soul Energy, the resulting Pollution Zone it could open would likely cover the entire Fission Wilderness.
Based on this assumption, the Pure Light Court dispatched a squad headed by Ias Lanti to verify the situation within Fissure Corridor.
That was the situation.
Noland Lee had found this information in the memory fragments obtained from the Deconstruction Results.
What Noland had not anticipated was that the covert operatives of the Pure Light Court who had infiltrated the Golden Federation were hidden among the Alchemy Sages.
It was such an alchemist who had secured a position within the Alchemy Cathedral who was providing real-time intelligence to the Pure Light Court about the whereabouts of the soul gems.
Setting aside whether the arrival of this team of Light Wizards would trigger a crisis of trust within the Alchemy Cathedral, Noland now had only one headache:
If the Pure Light Court discovers the secret cooperation between the Blood Sun Seal Descendants and the Tomb King, would he still be able to witness the opening of the Pollution Zone?
If the Pollution Zone doesn’t open, how would he kill the Gatherer Hecandi, and how would he launch the bone material of the Tomb King…
“This… this is a bit awkward. I need to consult the Assassin Angel,” Noland thought.
Noland continued to pretend to be a repairman, using alchemy tools to cling to the corridor’s wall.
After waiting for the Light Wizards to walk far away, he took out a crystal ring and gently rotated it, recounting in his mind what had just happened.
After listening, the Assassin Angel responded silently for a few seconds:
“If the Blood Sun Seal Descendant fails to open the Pollution Zone this time, then the revival ceremony for Gatherer Hecandi will be postponed. Nevertheless, the Dark Divine Cult can only conduct the revival ceremony for Gatherer Hecandi in the ‘Decayed Wilderness.'”
Noland understood.
Whether the Pollution Zone could be successfully opened this time actually had no bearing on his mission to prevent the revival of Gatherer Hecandi. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
For the Dark Divine Cult, if they couldn’t open it this time, they could still revive Gatherer Hecandi the next time they attempt to open the zone.
